  • These remaining suburbs do not lie within borough boundaries, and particulars respecting them have not been obtained for the
    Vital Statistics. Closely correct annual statements of population outside boroughs are not obtainable.
    In the above table are given the deaths and death-rates for each of the four cities, for the suburban boroughs severally,
    and for each city with its suburban towns. As regards Auckland and Christchurch, the whole of the area usually
    recognised as suburban has not yet been brought under municipal government, and the vital statistics do not deal with
    such portions as still remain in road districts. But the omission is not very important, for there are in either case quite
    enough suburbs included within borough boundaries to give a fair idea of the death-rate of Greater Auckland and Greater
    Christchurch. As further boroughs are formed the vital statistics will be made to include them.
    Deaths occurring at hospitals, of persons not residents of the borough wherein the hospital is situated, have been
    allotted in each case to the borough where the disease was contracted, and not to that in which the death actually took
    place.
